How We Built a Million-Dollar Recruitment Business Using AI (in Record Time)

May 14, 2025 • Harvey Rivers & Adam Powell

Leveraging AI and recruitment technology has transformed our business - and it could revolutionise yours too.

With AI adoption in business exploding, you might be wondering, “What does this mean for my career, my team, or my company’s future?”

In this episode, we break down how we’ve harnessed AI tools and tech stacks to build a successful recruitment agency in record time. We dive into specific technologies that have redefined our workflow - from a CRM system powered by AI to an AI meeting assistant that captures every detail.

You'll hear how ChatGPT has streamlined our content creation and business planning.

And what tools helped Adam achieve an impressive $177,000 in billings in a single month - a huge milestone for any million-dollar biller in recruitment.

This conversation goes beyond recruitment, touching on the broader impact of AI across industries - including what CFOs, small business owners, and business leaders need to know to stay ahead.

We also open up about how we balance high performance across all areas of life, and reflect on key decisions that shaped our entrepreneurial journey.
